Why do I get 'undefined' when using let keyword in comparison to var

I am trying to understand both let and var keywords. It is not clear for me why do I get 'undefined' when I use let keyword?

let currentScope = 'global';
function print() {
    let currentScope = 'local';
    console.log(this.currentScope); //undefined
    console.log(currentScope);     //local
}

print();
console.log(currentScope);  //global

and here I use var

var currentScope = 'global';
function print() {
    var currentScope = 'local';
    console.log(this.currentScope); //global
    console.log(currentScope); //local
}

print();
console.log(currentScope); //global
